Eur Urol 1996 (in press). This study demonstrates that transrectal HIFU is capable of decreasing the degree of bladder outflow obstruction assessed by pressure flow studies. As the urodynamic changes have to be classified as moderate, this procedure should only be considered for moderately obstructed patients.
